eases.
By ALLISON ZOUSMER
Four of six suspected cases of
measles turned out to be false alarms
this week, health service officials said
yesterday.
After observing the patients over the
weekend, doctors determined that in
four of the cases, measles symptoms
did not show up. The two other cases
need further observation, doctors said.
Health Service officials started a
massive measles vaccination drive on
campus nearly two weeks ago after two
cases of the virus were discovered in
Markley dormitory. Since that time
there have been no other confirmed
cases of the disease.
Officials are continuing the vac-
cination drive at Health Services and
several other locations on campus this
week, officials are encouraging all
students born between 1957 and 1967 to
receive shots or confirm that they have
had an effective vaccination.

By THOMAS MILLER
Representatives of the Graduate
Employees' Organization will meet-
with University officials tomorrow in
an attempt to re-open contract
negotiations to abolish tuition for
graduate teaching assistants.
Last Thursday the union decided to
ask the University to renegotiate the
contract because a federal law exem-
pting teaching assistants from certain
taxes expired Dec. 31. GEO's current
contract with the University was
ratified only three months ago.
UNDER THE current contract, with
the University, TAs pay only two-thirds
of their tuition. The one-third discount
is exempt from taxes. This December,
however, Congress adjourned without
renewing the law which would have
given them the tax break.
As a result, TAs have seen their taxes
rise about $75 to $100 per month..
Last week GEO decided to ask the
University to renogotiate the contract
on ground that the contract terms have
changed. 'They are asking for a full
tuition break because it is the only way
to guarantee that their paychecks will
keep pace with tuition hikes, members
of the union said.
"THE REAL ISSUE is not the taxes,"
said Stepen Grossbart, a member of the
GEO steering committee. The un-
derlying problems would still remain
even if a solution were found (to the
taxes)."
"The (tax) issues brings the point
home. It wipes out the pay increase
(from the new contract)," he said. "We
sat down to figure out 'How could we
guarantee students the same
paycheck?' And we came to the con-
clusion that this is silly. We're paying
tuition."
Grossbart said that exemption
graduate students from tuition is a
common practice. Many schools across
the country offer similar plans, he said.
Union members are now waiting to

see if the University agrees to re-open
the talks.
COLLEEN DOLAN-GREENE, THE
University's chief negotiator for the
GEO contract, says the University has
yet to decide whether they will reopen
contract talks.
"We will first have to meet with GEO
and discuss the problem," Dolan-
Greene said.
She says that the talks could be
reopened, but the final decision will be
based on recommendations from her
and the GEO advisory board, a Univer-
sity committee which deals with GEO.

GEO vice president Jane Holzka says
that GEO isn't really sure how the
University will react. Holzka declined
comment on what action GEO might
take if the University refuses -to
negotiate because she said the decision
rests with all union members.
Though the proposal may seem
drastic, GEO members insist that the
move was inevitable. According ..to
Stephen Grossbart, a member of the
GEO steering committee, the union
historically has fought for a total tuition
break.
